LITTLE  JACK   HORNER 

Little  Jack   Horner 
Sat   in  the  corner, 

Eating  of   Christmas  pie; 
He  put   in   his  thumb, 
And  pulled   out  a  plum, 

And   said,   "What   a  good   boy 
am   I!" 


SING    A    SONG    OF    SIXPENCE 

Sing  a  song  of  sixpence,  The  king  was  in  his  countinghous* 


A  pocket  full   of  rye; 
Four -and -twenty  blackbirds 

Baked   in   a  pie! 
When  the  pie   was  opened 

The  birds  began  to  sing; 
Was  not  that  a  dainty  dish 

To  set  before  the   king? 


Counting  out  his  money; 
The   queen  was   in  the  parlor, 

Eating  bread  and  honey. 
The   maid  was   in  the  garden, 

Hanging  out  the  clothes; 
When  down  came  a  blackbird 

And  snapped  off  her   nose. 


THE  TARTS 

The   Oueen   of   Hearts, 
She   made  some   tarts, 

All   on   a  summer's  day; 

The   Knave   of   Hearts, 
He  stole  the  tarts, 

And  took  them  clean  away. 


The   King  of   Hearts 
Called  for  the  tarts, 

And   beat  the   Knave   full   sore; 
The   Knave  of   Hearts 
Brought  back  the  tarts, 

And  vowed  he'd  steal   no   more. 


BANBURY  CROSS 

Ride  a  cockhorse  to  Banbury  Cross, 
To    see    an    old    lady  upon   a  white 

horse. 
Rings  on   her   fingers,  and   bells  on 

her   toes, 
She  shall   have   music   wherever  she 

goes. 


JACK  AND  JILL 

Jack    and    Jill     went     up     the    hill, 

To  fetch   a  pail   of   water; 
Jack     fell     down,     and     broke,     his 
crown, 

And  Jill   came   tumbling  after. 
Then  up  Jack  got  and  off  did  trot, 

As  fast  as  he  could  caper, 
To    old    Dame    Dob,    who    patched 
his  nob 

With  vinegar  and  brown  paper. 


LITTLE  BOY  BLUE 

Little    Boy    Blue,  come,    blow    your 

horn ! 
The    sheep's    in    the    meadow,    the 

cow's   in  the  corn. 
Where's    the    little    boy    that    looks 

after  the  sheep? 
Under  the   haystack,   fast  asleep! 


SIMPLE  SIMON 

Simple   Simon   met  a  pie   man, 

Going  to  the   fair; 
Says  Simple  Simon  to  the  pie  man, 

'Let   me  taste  your  ware." 

Says  the  pie  man  to  Simple  Simon, 
'Show   me   first  your  penny." 

Says  Simple  Simon  to  the  pie  man, 
''Indeed,   I   have   not  any." 


-i<— <iC.    .":Vn 


THREE  WISE  MEN  OF 
GOTHAM 

Three   wise   men  of   Gotham 
Went  to  sea  in  a  bowl; 
If  the  bowl   had  been  stronger, 
My  song  had  been   longer. 


HUSH-A-BYE 

Hush-a-bye,    baby,    on    the   tree    top! 
When    the    wind    blows,    the    cradle 

will   rock; 
When  the  bough  breaks,  the   cradle 

will   fall; 
Down  will  come  baby,  bough,  cradle, 

and  all. 


HANDY  PANDY 

Handy   Pancly,   Jack-a-dandy, 
Loves  plum   cake   and  sugar  candy. 
He  bought  some   at  a  grocer's  shop, 
And   out   he  came,   hop,   hop,   hop! 


MARY,  MARY,  OUITE 
CONTRARY 

Mary,   Mary,   quite   contrary, 

How  does   your    garden    grow? 

Silver  bells  and  cockleshells, 

And  pretty  maids  all  of  a  row. 


JACK   SPRAT 

Jack   Sprat 

Could  eat   no  fat, 
His  wife   could  eat   no   lean; 

And  so, 

Betwixt  them   both, 
They   licked  the   platter  clean. 


THE  PUMPKIN-EATER 

Peter,   Peter,   pumpkin-eater, 
Had  a  wife  and  couldn't   keep  her; 
He   put  her   in   a  pumpkin  shell, 
And  there  he   kept  her  very  well. 


THE  FLYING  PIG 

Dickory,   clickory,   dare, 
The   pig   flew   up   in   the   air; 
The   man   in   brown  soon  brought 

him   down, 
Dickory,   dickory,   dare. 


BABY    DOLLY 

Hush,    baby,    my   dolly,    I    pray   you 

don't  cry, 
And   I'll    give  you  some   bread  and 

some   milk   by  and   by; 
Or    perhaps    you    like    custard,    or, 

maybe,   a  tart, 
Then  to  either  you're  welcome,  with 

all   my  heart. 


THE  MOUSE  AND 
THE  CLOCK 

Hickory,   dickory,   dock! 

The   mouse   ran   up  the   clock; 
The   clock   struck   one, 
And   down   he   run, 

Hickory,   dickory,   dock! 


THE   OLD   WOMAN  UNDER 
A    HILL 

There  was  an  old  woman 
Lived  under  a  hill; 

And   if  she's  not  gone, 
She   lives  there  still. 


CHRISTMAS 

Christmas  is   coming,   the   geese   are 

getting  fat, 
Please    to    put    a    penny    in    an    old 

man's  hat; 
If    you     haven't     got     a     penny,     a 

ha'penny  will   do, 
If  you  haven't  got  a  ha'penny,  God 

bless  you. 


THE  CROOKED    SIXPENCE 

There  was  a  crooked  man,  and  he 
went   a  crooked   mile, 

He  found  a  crooked  sixpence  be- 
side  a  crooked   stile; 

He  bought  a  crooked  cat,  which 
caught  a  crooked   mouse, 

And  they  all  lived  together  in  a 
little    crooked    house. 


DOCTOR  FOSTER 

Doctor  Foster  went  to   Glo'ster, 

In  a  shower  of  rain; 
He  stepped   in  a  puddle,   up  to  his 
middle, 

And   never  went  there  again. 


LITTLE  BO-PEEP 
Little    Bo-Peep    has    lost   her   sheep, 
And    can't    tell    where    to    find 
them; 
Leave  them  alone,  and  they'll  come 
home, 
And    bring    their    tails    behind 
them. 

TOM,  TOM,  THE  PIPER'S   SON 

Tom,   Tom,  the  piper's  son, 
Stole  a  pig  and  away  he  run; 

The  pig  was  eat, 

And  Tom  was  beat, 
And  Tom  ran  crying  down  the 
street. 

THE  CAT  AND  THE  FIDDLE 

Hey,  diddle,  diddle! 

The  cat  and  the   fiddle, 
The  cow   jumped  over  the   moon; 

The   little  dog   laughed 

To  see  such  sport, 
And  the  dish  ran  away  with  the  spoon. 


BOBBY    SHAFTOE 

Bobby   Shaftoe's  gone  to-  sea, 
With  silver   buckles  on   his   knee; 
He'll   come   back   and   marry  me, 
Pretty  Bobby   Shaftoe! 


WILLY  BOY 

'Willy    boy,   Willy   boy,    where    are 

you  going? 
I     will     go     with     you,     if     that     I 

may." 
'I'm    going    to    the    meadow   to    see 

them   a-mowing, 
I'm    going    to  "help    them    to    make 

the   hay." 


GEORGY   PORGY 

Georgy   Porgy,   pudding  and  pie, 
Kissed  the  girls  and  made  them  cry. 
When  the  boys  came  out  to  play, 
Georgy  Porgy  ran  away. 


COMICAL  FOLK 

In  a  cottage   in   Fife 
Lived  a  man  and  his  wife 

Who,  believe  me,  were  comical  folk; 
For,   to  people's  surprise, 
They  both  saw  with  their  eyes, 

And  their  tongues  moved  whenever 
they  spoke! 


THE   ROBIN 


The   north   wind  doth   blow, 

And   we  shall   have   snow, 

And  what  will   poor  robin  do  then, 

Poor  thing? 
He'll   sit   in  a  barn, 
And   keep   himself   warm, 
And  hide  his  head  under   his  wing, 

Poor  thing! 


LITTLE   GIRL  AND   OUEEN 

"Little    girl,   little    girl,   where   have 

you  been?" 
"Gathering     roses    to    give    to    the 

Queen." 
"  Little    girl,    little    s^irl,    what    gave 

she  you?" 
"  She  gave  me  a  diamond  as  big  as 

my  shoe." 


WEE  WILLIE  WINKIE 

Wee    Willie    Winkie    runs    through 

the  town, 
Upstairs     and     downstairs,     in     his 

nightgown; 
Rapping     at     the     window,     crying 

through  the   lock, 
"Are    the    children    in    their    beds? 

Now   it's  eight  o'clock." 


ABC 


Great  A,   little   a, 

Bouncing  B! 
The  cat's   in  the  cupboard, 

And  can't  see   me.

Bow-wow-wow ! 


SING,  SING 

Sing,   sing,   what  shall   I 

sing? 
Cat's  run   away  with  the 

pudding  string! 
Do,     do,     what     shall     I 

do? 
The     cat     has    bitten    it 

quite   in  two. 


MARCH  WINDS 

March  winds  and  April   showers 
Bring  forth  May  flowers. 


THE  BLACKSMITH 

"  Robert   Barnes,   my  fellow   fine, 
Can   you  shoe   this  horse   of   mine?" 
"Yes,   good  sir,  that   I   can, 
As  well   as  any  other   man; 
There's   a   nail,   and   there's   a  prod, 
Now,  good   sir,  your  horse  is  shod." 


ONE,  TWO,  BUCKLE

Buckle   my  shoe;

Lay  them   straight; 
Nine,   ten, 
A  good,   fat   hen; 
Eleven,  twelve, 
Dig  and  delve; 
Thirteen,   fourteen, 
Maids  a-courting; 
Fifteen,   sixteen, 
Maids   in  the   kitchen;

Maids  a-waiting; 
Nineteen,   twenty, 
My  plate's  empty. 


PEASE  PORRIDGE 

Pease   porridge  hot, 

Pease  porridge  cold, 
Pease   porridge   in   the   pot, 

Nine  days  old. 
Some   like   it   hot, 

Some   like   it  cold, 
Some   like   it   in  the   pot, 

Nine  days  old. 

OLD  MOTHER  GOOSE 
Old   Mother   Goose,   when 

She  wanted  to  wander, 
Would  ride  through  the   air 

On   a  very  fine   gander. 

THE    TEN    O'CLOCK 
SCHOLAR 

A    diller,    a    dollar,    a    ten    o'clock 

scholar ! 

What      makes     you     come     so 

soon  ? 

You    used    to    come   at    ten    o'clock, 

But    now    you    come    at    noon. 


PINS 

See   a  pin   and   pick   it   up, 

All  the   day  you'll   have   good   luck. 

See   a   pin   and   let   it   lay, 

Bad    luck    you'll    have    all    the    day. 


THE    MAN    IN    THE    MOON 

The      Man      in     the     Moon     came 
tumbling  down, 
And  asked  the  way  to  Norwich; 
He   went    by   the    south,    and    burnt 
his  mouth 
With  eating  cold  pease  porridge. 


*^  w 


YOUNG  LAMBS  TO  SELL 
If   I'd  as   much    money  as   I   could  tell, 
I  never  would  cry  young  lambs  to  sell; 
Young  lambs  to  sell,  young  lambs  to  sell; 
I  never  would  cry  young  lambs  to  sell. 


TO  BABYLON 

How    many   miles    is   it  to   Babylon? 

Threescore   miles  and  ten. 
Can   I   get  there   by  candlelight? 

Yes,   and   back   again. 
If  your   heels  are   nimble   and   light, 
You   may  get  there   by  candlelight. 


BOBBY   SNOOKS 

Little    Bobby    Snooks    was    fond    of 
his   books, 
And     loved     by    his     usher     and 
master; 
But    naughty    Jack    Spry,    he    got    a 
black   eye, 
And  carries  his  nose  in  a  plaster. 


SULKY  SUE 

Here's   Sulky   Sue, 
What  shall   we  do? 
Turn   her  face  to  the  wall 
Till   she  comes  to. 


HOT-CROSS  BUNS 

Hot-cross  Buns! 

Hot-cross  Buns! 

One  a  penny,  two  a  penny, 

Hot-cross  Buns! 

Hot-cross  Buns! 

Hot-cross  Buns! 
If  ye  have  no  daughters, 
Give  them  to  your  sons. 


PAT-A-CAKE 

Pat-a-cake,   pat-a-cake, 

Baker's  man ! 
So  I   do,   master, 

As  fast  as   I   can. 

Pat   it,   and   prick   it, 

And   mark   it  with   T, 

Put   it   in  the   oven 

For   Tommy  and   me. 

BAA,  BAA,  BLACK   SHEEP 

Baa,   baa,   black   sheep, 
Have  you  any  wool  ? 
Yes,   marry,   have   I, 
Three   bags  full; 

One   for   my   master, 
One   for   my  dame, 
But  none   for  the   little   boy 
Who  cries   in   the   lane. 


THE  HOBBYHORSE 

I   had  a   little   hobbyhorse, 

And   it  was  dapple  gray; 

Its   head   was   made  of  pea  straw, 
Its  tail   was   made  of  hay. 


I   sold   it  to  an   old   woman 

For  a  copper   groat; 
And   I'll   not  sing   my  song  again 

Without   another  coat. 


TOMMY    TITTLEMOUSE 

Little   Tommy  Tittlemouse 
Lived   in   a  little  house; 
He  caught   fishes 
In   other   men's  ditches. 


POOR    OLD    ROBINSON    CRUSOE 


Poor  old   Robinson   Crusoe! 

Poor  old  Robinson  Crusoe! 
They  made  him  a  coat 
Of  an  old  nanny  goat, 


I  wonder  why  they  should  do  so 
With  a  ringf-a-tingf-tanef, 
And  a  ring-a-ting-tang, 

Poor   old   Robinson   Crusoe! 


IF  WISHES   WERE   HORSES 


If  wishes  were  horses,  beggars  would 

ride. 
If    turnips    were    watches,    I    would 
wear  one   by   my  side. 
And   if  "ifs"   and   "ands" 
Were   pots  and  pans, 
There'd   be   no  work   for  tinkers! 


PUSSYCAT  AND  QUEEN 

*'  Pussycat,   pussycat, 

Where   have  you   been?" 
"I've   been  to   London 

To   look   at   the   Oueen." 

'  Pussycat,   pussycat, 

What  did  you  there?' 

"I   frightened  a   little   mouse 
Under  the   chair." 


BARBER 

Barber,   barber,   shave   a  pig. 
How   many  hairs  will   make   a  wig? 
Four  and  twenty;  that's  enough. 
Give  the   barber  a  pinch  of  snuff. 


LITTLE  FRED 

When  little   Fred  went  to  bed, 
He   always  said   his  prayers; 

He   kissed   mamma,   and   then    papa, 
And  straightway  went   upstairs. 


JACK  JELF 

Little  Jack  Jelf 
Was  put  on   the  shelf 

Because    he    could    not    spell    "pie"; 
When   his  aunt,   Airs.   Grace, 
Saw   his  sorrowful   face, 

She  could  not  help  saying,  "Oh,  fie!" 

And  since   Master  Jelf 
Was   put   on   the   shelf 

Because  he  could  not  spell  "pie," 
Let  him  stand  there  so  grim, 
And   no  more   about  him, 

For    I    wish    him    a    very    good-bye! 


THE    LITTLE    BIRD 

Once   I   saw  a   little   bird 
Come   hop,   hop,   hop; 

So  I  cried,   "Little  bird, 
Will  you   stop,   stop, 
stop?" 

And    was    going    to     the 
window 
To  say,   "  How  do  you 
do?" 
But    he    shook    his    little 
tail, 
And   far  away  he  flew. 


JACK 

Jack,  be  nimble,  Jack,  be 
quick, 

Jack,  jump  over  the  candle- 
stick. 


OLD     MOTHER     HUBBARD 

Old   Mother   Hubbard 
Went  to  the  cupboard, 

To  give  her  poor  dog  a  bone; 
But  when  she  got  there 
The   cupboard   was   bare, 

And  so  the   poor  dog  had   none. 

MISS   MUFFET 

Little   Miss  Muffet  . 

Sat   on  a  tuffet, 
Eating  of  curds  and   whey; 

There  came   a  big  spider, 

And  sat  down   beside   her, 
And   frightened    Miss   Muffet  away. 

HUMPTY  DUMPTY 

Humpty  Dumpty  sat  on   a  wall, 

Humpty   Dumpty  had    a  great    fall; 

All  the  King's  horses  and  all  the 
King's  men 

Cannot  put  Humpty  Dumpty  to- 
gether again. 


ONE  MISTY  MOISTY 
MORNING 

One   misty  moisty  morning, 

When  cloudy  was  the  weather, 
I   chanced  to  meet  an  old  man, 

Clothed   all   in   leather. 
He   began   to  compliment 

And   I   began  to  grin. 
How  do  you  do  ?  And  how  do  you  do? 

And   how  do  you  do  again? 


DANCE    TO   YOUR   DADDIE 


Dance  to  your  daddie, 

My  bonnie   laddie; 

Dance    to    your    daddie,    my   bonnie 

lamb; 
You  shall   get   a   fishy, 
On   a   little   dishy, 
You  shall  get  a  fishy,  when  the  boat 

comes  home. 


THE    OLD    WOMAN     FROM 
FRANCE 

There    came    an    old    woman    from 

France 
Who    taught    grown-up    children    to 
dance; 
But  they  were  so  stiff, 
She  sent  them  home  in  a  sniff, 
This  sprightly   old   woman    from    France. 


A    SURE    TEST 

If  you  are  to  be   a  gentleman, 
As  I   suppose  you'll   be, 

You'll   neither   laugh  nor  smile, 
For  a  tickling  of  the   knee. 


FIVE    TOES 

This  little  pig  went  to  market; 
This   little   pig  stayed   at   home; 
This   little   pig  had  roast   beef; 
This   little   pig  had   none; 
This  little  pig  said,   "Wee,   wee 
I   can't   find   my  way  home." 


A    CANDLE 

Little   Nanny  Etticoat 
In   a  white   petticoat, 
And  a  red  nose; 
The   longer  she   stands 
The   shorter  she   grows. 


THE    MAN    IN    OUR    TOWN 

There   was  a   man    in   our   town, 

And   he   was  wondrous   wise. 
He  jumped   into  a  bramble   bush, 

And     scratched     out     both     his 
eyes. 
But  when   he  saw  his  eyes  were  out, 

With  all   his    might    and    mam, 
He  jumped   into  another   bush, 

And   scratched    'em    in   again.
